Great to meet you!

My name is Shawnae, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the helping field and 5 years as a therapist. I’ve worked with a diverse population of people and take a person-centered approach to therapy. I think that in life we are all dealt with different hands, some easier, and some harder than others, but every journey uniquely our own. In that sense, we are here to learn how to navigate the challenges we face on a regular basis and as your therapist, I am here to support you through it.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from a trauma informed perspective and will provide care with sensitivity and understanding for your life experiences. I integrate evidence-based practices such as CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to guide our work together. My approach is flexible and collaborative, ensuring your needs are being met.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, we will work on building rapport because trust is the foundation for any good therapeutic relationship. Together, we will explore patterns, help you build emotional resilience, and develop tools for lasting change. Whether you’re navigating trauma, parenting challenges, or managing anxiety or depression, we will work to support your growth and help you move toward a more balanced life.
